Help a fool?
Well hello. I have bought a new in box unlocked Tmobile compatible LG Aristo 5 from a legit seller on eBay to replace LG Aristo 2 Plus that kept breaking and was repeatedly replaced by bad refurbs via my warranty and now is just bad but still usually works except internet connection now is failing too damn often. Question is: Will someone at the store help me migrate the contents of my old phone to new one? Does it cost? $$$? i am a longtime TM customer, old & decrepit, they always swap my SIM card or test battery etc or troubleshoot it for me in store bc I dont know how to do this myself as I said I am old. But this is moving everything and don't know if they will do that. I bought this one bc I have always had Tmobile and LG Aristos and can't afford the phones TMobile sells now like Samsung or iPhone and no, i couldn't qualify for a free or cheap one by adding another line or trading in my LG even though I had gotten all my old LGs from TMobile; LGs are simply not eligible trade ins anymore. Just need to get this Aristo 5 working without being laughed out of the store. Not a joke and sincerely thanks in advance. PS to be honest I admit I really have two lines and two Aristo 2 Pluses now, the first being bad and the second one is totally dead. So I have bought two new Aristo 5s, not one, for myself and another equally inept person, so this is a big deal for us.

Up front, I am a "senior citizen" and non-technical. But I can still read a bill, and I really want to switch to TMobile home internet to save money. We have not had any options in Tampa, FL besides Spectrum and Frontier until recently. Constant outages, prices always going up, everything bundled and "on promo," promos expiring, and they are shifting their interest to business customers. We are retirees who go online with 4G TMobile phones, do email, have a laptop we don't use, and stream Netflix and Hulu TV with Roku TV. We don't even watch the TV that comes with cable. So compared to most people's our setup is primitive. But we do need something reliable. We have had decent customer service for phone issues (usually ended up going down to the store). The store has already told us any internet performance issues would have to be handled by the call center or website (is this true?), and the internet specialist at the call center said they can't discuss TV, only internet (although they did offer to sell me a new phone.) Installing apps, connecting equipment, moving channels around will be challenging, but possibly huge cost savings ($50/mo and if you bundle with the TM phone plan for age 55+ which we noe have, it is further discounted to $40). Would appreciate any advice or feedback. Please do not hesitate to dumb it down. Thanks.306Views0likes3Comments
